Claiming to be the world's largest ongoing dog Halloween party (of course, not proven but I've been there and it's big), Tompkins Square rolled out the dirt and leaf-strewn carpet for the 19th annual event in the East Village on Sunday. Quite a few creative ensembles were on hand, check through some of my favorite furballs and see who won it all at the end!

Arctic Animals Most Active on Snowy, Winter Days at the Zoo

PetSugar — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 03:00:54 -0800

I wanted to melt when I saw these adoro photos from the Bronx Zoo! Cold weather pros like the Snow Leopard totally love the freezing weather – in fact, this season's a great time to check out these creatures at your local zoo in cold climates. Even though my personal favorite, Gus, lives further downtown at the Central Park Zoo, spot another well-camouflaged Polar Bear (along with a host of other creatures) frolicking in the white stuff in the Big Apple.

See all the snowtime playtime piccys when you read more.

Found! Make Your Pets a Lil Edgy Like Agyness Deyn's

PetSugar — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 07:00:14 -0700

An edgier alternative to a frilly outfit, tying scarves or bandanas around a dog's neck gives your pooch a lil pizzazz . . . without getting you a dressing down from those opposed to clothes on pets! Leave it to Agyness Deyn and Albert Hammond Jr. to deck out their pets in this rough-n-tumble look.

The British model and her rocker beau took a walk in NYC on Thursday with their two little pooches! Of course, I couldn't let you down re: their look, so I zoomed in on the photo to see what they were donning. What did I find? See it when you read more.

Awww, both pooches get bandanas in varying colors, and what's that I see on the doxie? None other than my fave brand, a Puppia harness.

Seems like another designer wants to lend a helping hand with dog adoptions! Adam Lippes will partner with the ASPCA from April 4 to 6, and host an adoption event right in his Manhattan boutique! Representatives will be on hand to facilitate adoptions of these needy doggies, about 20 of various breeds and sizes will frolic in the windows of the store. What's more is that any shopper choosing to give one of these pups a forever home will receive this limited edition "ADAM Loves Dogs" tee. Adam himself will even be attending on April 5 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and has said, "I can only hope that all of these dogs will find loving homes and will be surprised if I don't walk away with one of them myself."

Globetrotters: Blizzard Hits Big Apple

PetSugar — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 15:45:14 -0800

Well, it's a true snow day in NYC as the flurries just keep falling and falling! The storm is expected to dump up to 10 inches of snow on the region and, on behalf of all those cold-weather pooches out there, hooray! If you're trapped somewhere wintery today, brush up on my tips for cold weather and pets before heading outside to play. Keep in mind there's lower visibility for both you and dogs so, if your pooches are off leash, make sure they're in a safe spot like the crew snapped at Prospect Park this afternoon!

Out and About: New York's The Dog Run NYC

PetSugar — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 10:00:19 -0800

Ten feet wide, 15 feet long, 4.5 deep . . . and 87 degrees of chlorinated heaven! Treat your visiting (or local) pet to Open Swim at The Dog Run NYC for just $20. Held from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays year-round, water-loving animals can take a group dip in the pool during this special time or you can shell out $50 to hop in with him for splashy fun playing keep-away or catch with the provided balls and frisbees or private pool time. Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise for pets because there is no pressure on the joins from impact with the ground and the warm water relaxes stiff and sore muscles – hydrotherapy specialists can help work with dogs in need of special therapy to help build muscles and resistance. If you're not sure how your pup will fare in the water, there are doggie life jackets available for that trial dip.

My Three Pretty Collar Picks From Wonderdog NYC's Fall Line

PetSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:00:16 -0700

I was already a big fan of Wonderdog, especially since they make cute walking harnesses (which are way harder to locate for those noncollar wearing pups). Now I'm loving their warm, earthy-toned additions for Fall so much that I've picked my three favorite styles below. Don't worry matching fans, they stock coordinating leashes, too!

Wonderdog Commando ($32)

Do Tell: Have You Ever Been to a Pet Funeral or Cemetery?

PetSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:00:04 -0700

Growing up alongside a furry friend makes her just like family, and it's never easy to lose a pet. When the latest episode of the Bravo reality show, NYC Prep (don't judge me!), shows one household lose their beloved 11-year-old dog, my heart went out to 16-year-old Kelli who had grown up alongside the fluffy pup.

It had been mentioned earlier that Lily was on a treatment including steroids and acupuncture with two herniated discs, and they later host a pet funeral at a pet cemetery in Long Island. To see the rest of the scene, read more.

Have you ever been to a pet memorial service and/or cemetery?
